Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a sun visor for a vehicle, which comprises a sun visor body, the sun visor body being held by a shaft configured as a tube and having a notch on one side. a mirror and at least one light source are installed in the recess, a connecting conductor is connected to the light source, at least one of the connecting conductors being led through the shaft and connected to the current supply network of the vehicle; Concerning the types of things that are possible.

Conventional technology Vehicle sun visors with mirrors and lighting devices are becoming increasingly popular. However, such sun visors are relatively expensive, and this is due in particular to the current supply to the light source, which requires relatively difficult cable installations. A particular difficulty lies in the fact that if the sun visor body is to be covered with a plastic sheet, which is generally the case at present, the conductor wires must not protrude beyond the contour of the sun visor body during manufacture. This is because the conductor wires interfere with the welding of the edges of the plastic sheet strips in an annular manner. For this reason, the end section of the conductor embedded in the sun visor body, which protrudes from the shaft receptacle, is bent, guided back into the shaft receptacle and, after being coated, pulled out of the shaft receptacle again. Ru. Both the insertion of the wire end into the shaft receptacle and the withdrawal of the wire end from the shaft receptacle can only be carried out manually, which is expensive. Furthermore, it is a disadvantage to temporarily attach only a relatively short end/section of the connecting conductor to the shaft receptacle, and if a solarizer with long connecting conductors is desired, an additional conductor connector is required. must be prepared and connected,
Additional costs are required.

The sun visor body generally consists of a reinforcing element, for example constructed as a wire frame, which is fitted on both sides with plastic foam strips, which are themselves covered with an outer covering sheet. In the corner areas of the wire frame, a bearing housing with an offset shaft receiving part is arranged. Furthermore, many sun visors are used in which the reinforcing element is wrapped in plastic foam and the material thus produced is also covered with an outer covering sheet. In this case, in order to prevent the shaft receptacle from being filled with plastic foam during the foaming of the sun visor body, a removable core is arranged in the bearing housing during the foaming process, so that the shaft can then be replaced with a special It can be inserted into the shaft receiver without further work. Conductor guidance is particularly difficult in such foam-molded sunnoizers. This is because, in addition to the aforementioned disadvantages in the bearing housing, the conductor leads to sealing problems during the foaming process.

It is known to connect the light source of a vehicle sun visor to the current supply network of the vehicle via a normally provided counter-bearing as well as an associated counter-bearing block mounted on the vehicle bodywork (see German patent application no. 2,703,447), although such a connection has certain advantages in connection with the conductor guidance within the sun visor body, it does not meet the wishes of the vehicle manufacturer due to the need for flexibility on the vehicle side. isn't it.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the invention provides a very simple and inexpensive electrical connection between the vehicle's current supply network and the light source of the sun visor body. Furthermore, the sun visor can be provided with a connecting cable of any length.

Means for solving the problem According to an embodiment of the invention, the scaler body allows the passage of at least one connecting i-line between the shaft end and the notch located inside the scaler body. It has a connecting passage.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the connecting channel consists of a hose or tube section, which is embedded in the sun visor body.

The embodiment sun visor has a plate-shaped sun visor body 1 that is approximately rectangular.
The visor body has a shaft 2 in the region of one corner of its upper longitudinal edge, which shaft is connected to a bearing casing 3 mounted on the vehicle body. The shaft 2 is of L-shaped construction, with one leg of the shaft 1 being mounted in the sun visor body and the other leg in the bearing housing 3 . The sun equalizer 1 is constructed with the other corner area of the upper longitudinal edge as a counter-bearing shaft, and this counter-support shaft is removably supported in a counter-bearing part 5 attached to the vehicle body. There is.

As is clear from Figure 2, the Sanno-Iza is in frame 6.
The sun visor body 1 has a mirror 7 arranged therein, in which case the frame is mounted in a cutout 8 (FIG. 1) formed in the sun visor body 1.

A mirror cover flap 9 may be pivotally attached to the frame 6 as shown by a dashed line.

An approximately rectangular plastic tub 10 is inserted into the recess 8 of the sun visor body 1 .

The plastic tub 10 holding the frame/mirror unit 6.7 and the entire lighting device has an opening 11 in the side wall or, as shown, in the bottom, through which a hose or tube section 12 passes. A hose or tube section 12, which is embedded in the sun visor body 1 by fitting or foam molding, extends from the opening 11 to the end located inside the sun visor body 1 of the shaft 2, which is constructed as a tube and is arranged in the bearing casing 13. It extends to Bearing casing 1
3 is a spring 15 that is connected to the wire frame 14 that reinforces the sun visor body 1 and that loads the shaft 2 in the radial direction.
is held, and this spring holds the main body 1 of the
is held in the respective pivot position. The hose or tube section 12 is located in the sun visor body 1 and, as already mentioned, at the end of the shaft 2 and at the opening 11 in the plastic trough 10.
The connection passage 16 between the two is completely formed. Through the connecting passage 16, after the sun visor body 1 is welded to the sun visor body 1 and provided with the shaft 2, a connecting conductor 18 can be wired later as shown by the dashed line in FIG. In this case, the cable shoe 19 as well as the connecting conductor 18 are connected to the shaft 21 hose or tube section 12 and the opening 11.
Only when it has been led all the way through is it connected to the corresponding end of the connecting conductor 18.

The connecting conductor 18 is used to supply current to the tubular electrolyte 20 arranged in the recess 8 and can therefore be connected to the vehicle's current supply network. The ends of the connecting wires 18 projecting from the openings 11 are respectively connected to contact portions 21 and 22 which hold the tubular electrolyte 20, as indicated by broken lines in FIG. A switch 23 is provided in one connecting conductor, which switch can be used, for example, with the mirror cover flap 9.
(see Figure 2).

The contacts 21 , 22 , including their connections, switches 23 and tubular electrolytes 20 , together with a frame 6 made of light-transparent plastic material and a mirror 7 fitted into the frame, are preferably in one construction. A unit is formed. This means that during the final assembly of the ζizer, only the connecting conductor 18 has to be inserted through the connecting channel 16 and connected to the component, and then the component can be clipped into the plastic tub 10. This means that you only need to be exposed.

The shaft 2 and the hose or tube section 12 are made of metal and are in contact with each other and with the vehicle bodywork. In this case, only the connecting conductor 18 carrying the voltage to earth needs to be led through the entire connecting channel 16 and only one of the contacts 21 or 22 needs to be installed in such a way that it contacts the hose or pipe section 12. .

ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION With the arrangement of the invention, wiring can advantageously be carried out after covering the sunizer body with a jacket sheet and mounting the shaft, just before assembling the mirror and light source. In this case, at least one connecting conductor is inserted with one end through an open recess in the connecting channel and through the connecting channel and the tubular shaft. Of course, the connecting conductor can be inserted from the free end of the shaft and pushed into the recess. In both cases, the connecting conductor can be forced into the sun visor body by means of the connecting channel without the need for auxiliary tools. The invention can also be implemented in sun visors in which the sun visor body is formed from foam cut pieces placed in a covering layer, and also in sun visors in which the sun visor body is foam molded and adapted to the desired connecting conductor length. .
